To construct a PK RNAi vector, a 498-bp target PK gene sequence was amplified and transferred into the pEASY-T1vector. Subsequently, the target DNA fragments were cut off by enzymes Not I and Xho I and directional y inserted into plant RNAi platform vector pHurricane, a newly developed RNAi vector in our lab, to form the PK inverse repeats. The PK inverted repeats fragment was then cloned into a modified vector pCAMBIA1390, driven by a rapeseed seed-specific promoter napin. Restriction enzyme digestion verified the successful construction of RNA interference vector. The PK RNAi con-struction wil lay a foundation for study in the function of PK in oil accumulation and metabolism in rapeseeds.展开更多
